[Outro]
A#sus4 Gsus4
You know the family is the solution to the world's problems today
A#sus4
Now let's take a look at the family
Gsus4 A#sus4
In the family the father is like the head, the leader, the director
Gsus4
Not domineering, but showing love, guidance
A#sus4
For everyone else in the family
Gsus4
Now if we could get all the fathers of the world
Gsus4
To stand up and be fathers
Gsus4
That would be great
A#sus4
Then we have mothers
Gsus4
Who are the right arm of the father
A#sus4
There's supposed to-to-to do the cooking
Gsus4
Raise the children, do the sewing
A#sus4
And help the father to guide and direct
A#sus4
Then there's the son
Gsus4 A#sus4
The son, most sons are like imitators of their father
A#sus4
So we're back again to the father
Gsus4
And he is guiding in the right way
A#sus4
The son is definitely gonna be alright
Gsus4
Then we have the daughter
A#sus4
Watching her mother
Gsus4
Be-because sooner or later she's gonna be a mother
A#sus4
And she'll have her own sons and daughters
Gsus4
It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or
Gsus4
Of-of yours or mine
A#sus4
It's a universal family
A#sus4
Under one divine purpose
Gsus4
And one divine father
A#sus4 Gsus4
That is if we all come together no matter what color, race, creed
Gsus4
Because that's all in the head whether you wanna believe it or not
A#sus4 Gsus4
'Cause you'll bleed
A#sus4
Hoo...
Gsus4
Family, family, family reunion
A#sus4 Gsus4
It'll be nice, so nice, so nice
